UFO #16: Dr. Seuss Quilt

 My mom loves Dr. Seuss fabrics.  Over a couple years she had collected quite the stash.  She found this pattern and wanted my help laying it out.  In the process she also found out she had enough Dr. Seuss fabric to make 4 of these quilts.  So we cut out enough to make 2 quilts for her and 2 quilts for me.  She made one of the quilts for my brother's baby.  Her sashing was done in yellow.

If you know me, then you know my favorite color.  And I couldn't pass up an opportunity to do my sashing in my favorite color.  I like the way it turned out.


I put yellow fleece on the back for extra snugglyness. I quilted around each block and then fallowed the white lines in the striped blocks.  Someday when I get better, and if I haven't given this quilt away, I would like to do stippling in the Thing One blocks.

Superhero Cape

  My running friend asked if I would make a batman cape for a little boy.  I was excited to try this out as I have seen them all over Pinterest.  It was so fun to make and turned out perfect.  Now I just need my kids to get into superhero's.  My little girl had fun wearing it but had no idea what it was (she's not at all into superheros).



I would love to make some more.  Do you want one? I can make them for any super hero or color that you want.  I could even customize for you.  (ie Your little superhero's initial.) Let me know.
